Clark County Environment & Sustainability’s Division of Air Quality is launching a new study to better understand how Southern Nevada residents use fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, firepits and grills. As part of the study, the Division of Air Quality is conducting the BURN (Burn Use in Residential Neighborhoods) Survey, which will collect information about residential burning habits across the Las Vegas Valley. The Division of Air Quality selected environmental consulting firm ERG to conduct the survey.

The study is intended to give Air Quality a clearer picture of when, where and how often residents burn wood at home and the types of fireplaces, stoves and outdoor equipment they use. The information will help the division better understand residential wood burning as a potential source of air pollution in Southern Nevada.

Residents who own or use wood-burning fireplaces or stoves, outdoor firepits, grills or similar equipment are encouraged to participate.

The BURN Survey is open through Monday, Nov. 23, and is available at https://bit.ly/daqburnsurvey.
